Finding a suitable nursery for your toddler can be a real challenge. Now that Georgie is almost two and a half, we feel that he would really benefit from attending a nursery. Since having it confirmed that Georgie has delayed speech and language, we’ve been doing everything we can to support him. And we’d got to a point where we thought that going to nursery would be a big step forward for him.

Over the past month, I have spent more time in hospital with our toddler than I care to think about. It’s been a long journey, with countless sleepless night in a hopsital bed. Trying to work out what is going on for our son. Well, 4 weeks after he first became ill we finally have the answer! But it’s taken many tests, doctors and a couple of hospital stays to figure it out.

The Covid19 Outbreak has turned the world upside down. It’s an unknown and unprecedented time, and it seems to have sent the world absolutely mad. There’s no food in the shops, you can’t buy toilet roll for love nor money and everything around us seems to be closing. Life is changing daily, and people are struggling to keep up with everything which is going on.

It feels like it was only yesterday that I was all excited to be telling you guys that we were going on holiday. And now here comes a family holiday update for you all. I’m sure you can guess what I’m about to write. It was something that we had booked in January, after saving up our money for a little while. Having not been away in 6 years, a holiday was something which I was greatly looking forward to. And then Coronavirus hit the world…

So exciting news guys! We’ve booked a holiday. Yesss! We are actually going on holiday, for the first time in six years. I actually can’t believe that it’s been that long since I last went abroad. Life really does get in the way and the years fly by and then before you know it, another year has past and you’ve not managed to get away. But now we have booked a holiday and I can’t wait!

Let’s talk honestly. We’ve been struggling through life since we had two under two. It’s been really hard. Most days, I’ve felt like I’m just about keeping things a-float. Some days we’ve sunk. Well and truly sunk. It’s not been easy. Both children are learning and growing so quickly, demanding of attention and are getting to know one another; then you’re trying to support your family, work, juggle a million things.. Yes, it’s a struggle.

Wow. I can’t believe that we are here and talking about our six month update on exclusively pumping. You can read about our one and three month journey updates on our blog as well. I honestly was never sure I would make it to this point, so many times have I thought about packing it all in and giving up. But I am proud to be writing this six month update.

Today I want to talk about our pumping journey and the lowest points. I can already hear you thinking “oh, how depressing” but I think it’s important for people to speak out about their experiences. If I can help just one or two people, then my journey is one that is worth sharing.

The fourth trimester was not a term that I had heard until I had my children. In fact, I had had my second child before I even heard the term. I have always thought that there is so much information about pregnancy and labour, and then it’s like you’re on your own from the minute you give birth. So much changes instantly when you have a newborn and in the blink of an eye your life is never the same again.

Anyone who follows us on social media will probably have seen my stories recently about how much of a terrible sleeper Georgie is. Georgie is almost two and a half, and he has always struggled at night; he never slept through as a baby, in fact he was well over a year old before he slept through the night and that seems to have been short lived because not only does he not sleep through the night any more but he also takes ages to go off to sleep in the first place!
